How to make a Santos or cage doll

This morning I was making art jewelry with two part epoxy clay. I had some clay left over so I decided to start a santos doll. These are made with the cage on the bottom for a dress and usually hold a religious artifact. Mine will be a memorial to the sea which I used to live near and now I miss.

This is only the beginning and it's made from bamboo skewers. Clay takes overnight to cure so I will post more pictures later.
